Chapter 125 is a rich woman
The day Wang Xia discussed was still several days away, so Xia Shiyu wasn't in a hurry. However, the day when the oranges would be available at Pujia Supermarket was fast approaching.
After discussing it with Xia Shiyu that day, Yue Qi immediately made preparations to free up space so that others could put oranges on the shelves.
"Quickly, quickly put these oranges in the most conspicuous place, arrange them neatly so they don't get damaged."
Yue Qi was directing the employees inside the supermarket, making sure they arranged everything properly.
After we arranged everything neatly, she had someone put the prices up.
She set the price at 20 yuan per kilogram.
The supermarket staff were all astonished by their manager, considering it was just an ordinary supermarket with affordable prices.
Apart from durian and other fruits that are already expensive, other fruits are priced normally. So why are oranges suddenly 20 yuan per pound today?
"Mr. Yue, you're not mistaken, are you? These oranges look pretty ordinary, they're just a little big."
"It smells quite nice to me, and it smells rather pleasant."
"That doesn't feel like it's worth the price."
"I don't know, maybe it's a new variety from somewhere."
"Seeing how confident President Yue was, he even let me..."
They must taste pretty good to be displayed in the most prominent position.
"Of course, they even asked us to prepare samples for tasting."
We rarely offer fruit samples here before.
"That must mean you're very confident."
Some people chatted as they deftly arranged the oranges on the display stand.
At 9 a.m., the supermarket opened for business, and a bunch of people came in from outside.
Welcome!
Grandma Song went out shopping with a few of her old friends today.
Holding the shopping cart, she muttered to the person next to her, "I remember the braised food at the supermarket here tastes pretty good, I can buy some later."
Grandma Hu nodded, "It's not bad. I'll buy some braised pig ears to take home later; my family loves them."
Grandma Wang looked around and said, "I'll go buy a few cabbages. There aren't many good vegetables in winter, and one cabbage will last a long time."
Grandma Song shook her head in disapproval, "You're just too frugal."
“Then I have to be more frugal. My husband is the only one in our family with a pension, and it's not much each month. My children work hard too, so of course I have to be careful with my money.”
As Grandma Wang said this, she had been frugal for most of her life, and even though her conditions were much better now, she couldn't bear to spend too much money on delicious food.
Unless the children come home, she and her husband can just eat whatever they want.
"Okay, okay, let's go over and take a look."
The three of them walked forward and passed through the general merchandise area before seeing the neatly arranged fruits. The most striking thing was the bright yellow oranges in the center. The oranges were piled up and emitted a unique, refreshing aroma. There were also employees holding plates next to them, saying that they could try some.
"Ladies, would you like to try our new fruit? These oranges are delicious! Our general manager even went to discuss a potential business partnership with us."
A uniformed employee approached the three people with a plate, showing them the peeled segments of oranges inside.
Grandma Wang glanced at the price and was immediately shocked. "20 yuan a pound for oranges? That's robbery! So expensive!"
Grandma Hu was also a little surprised, "What kind of precious oranges are these? The most expensive ones I've ever bought in previous years were only six yuan a pound."
The employee, without batting an eye, said, "Oh, you guys can try it. It's free to sample anyway. If you're satisfied, you can buy more. This 20 yuan is definitely worth it. Our supermarket has never arbitrarily marked prices."
In the end, it was Grandma Song who made the decision. She had been attracted by the oranges that Qiu Ying bought in the elevator before, but she had forgotten about them and hadn't had a chance to ask about them in the past few days. Now she suddenly remembered them.
She said to the two people accompanying her, "You're right, it's just a taste test, it doesn't really matter."
After saying that, she first used a toothpick to pick up a segment of orange and put it in her mouth. The faint orange scent wafted into her nose as the orange approached, and Grandma Song felt as if she had recalled the fresh orange scent she had smelled in the elevator.
It looked exactly the same, and she felt a surge of anticipation. She immediately put the orange in her mouth.
She chewed it a couple of times; it was juicy, with clear flesh, and a sweet and delicious taste—truly a good orange.
The more she ate, the more satisfied she felt. She felt she no longer needed to ask Qiu Ying where she had bought the oranges last time, because she felt no oranges could taste as good as the ones she had just encountered.
After tasting it, she was quite satisfied and told the employee, "Give me a bag, I'll choose myself."
"Okay, okay," the employee said with a smile, and handed a bag to Grandma Song.
The other two were puzzled by Grandma Song's appearance. Grandma Wang pulled Grandma Song aside and said, "Old Song, are you really going to buy it?"
Grandma Song nodded, "Of course! These oranges are really delicious, you two should try them."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Wang released her hand. She and Grandma Hu exchanged a glance, their eyes conveying the same thought: why not give it a try?
So the two of them also picked up a piece of orange to try it, and after eating it, they fell silent.
Finally, Grandma Hu also grabbed a bag and started picking things out with Grandma Song.
Grandma Wang glanced at the two of them, and then, remembering the taste she had just experienced, she couldn't resist taking a bag to pick out oranges. She thought she would just pick a few so she could taste them when she got home.
Three elderly women were enthusiastically picking out oranges, and other people entering the supermarket later also noticed them.
People started walking over, and the staff glanced at them and immediately went up to each customer to invite them to try the food.
Most people did not refuse to try the oranges; each person forked a segment of orange and, after eating, joined the line to pick oranges.
In this situation, more and more people gather in the middle to pick oranges, making it look very lively.
Yue Qi glanced at it and was very satisfied. Sure enough, she knew that truly good fruit wouldn't be afraid of high prices and not being able to sell. In fact, this was already a restrained price. She dared to say that even if he sold it for thirty or fifty yuan today, someone would still buy it.
However, their supermarket is geared towards the general public, and with a net profit of over five yuan, they can earn quite a bit, so she set the price at 20 yuan.
She expressed her satisfaction. At this moment, two people walked over. One was a woman dressed in rich clothes. Everything else was fine, but the most eye-catching thing was the gold necklace around her neck. When she raised her hand slightly, several gold rings were equally dazzling. Next to her was a fair-skinned man who helped carry her things.
Wang Baozhu walked over and greeted Yue Qi for a few moments. "President Yue, I just happened to be passing by to see you. I heard there's something good to see today. What's going on?"
She's not particularly wealthy; she owns a dozen or so properties and shops and works as a landlady. Her parents run a gold shop, and these gold rings and necklaces were gifts from them.
But apart from liking to wear these sparkly things, her other hobbies are no different from ordinary people; she also likes to go to the supermarket and such.
I met Yue Qi by chance before, and we're pretty familiar friends. Today she told me that the supermarket got some good stuff, and suggested that I come and browse when I have time.
Wang Baozhu figured she might as well just wander around and come to the supermarket to see someone.
"Now tell me what happened."
